Fantasy Football Trade Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider trading for or trading away heading into Week 12:
George Pickens, WR, Cowboys
Trade Value: 58.9
ROS Rank: 32
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens continued his strong first season with the team in Monday night's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching nine of his 11 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown. Pickens and fellow star wideout CeeDee Lamb both sat out the first offensive series of the game due to a coach's decision, but it didn't prevent them from having big games, especially Pickens.
The former Pittsburgh Steeler tied a season high in catches and had his third game with at least 130 yards receiving, which is now the most in the league among wide receivers after Monday night. While both Cowboys wideouts have been great, Pickens has outproduced Lamb since he returned in Week 7, with 383 receiving yards to Lamb's 335.
He will continue to rank as a strong WR1 moving forward in Dallas' high-powered offense.
Verdict: Potential sell-high as his upside could be limited in certain weeks if Dak Prescott is unable to support two WRs.
Jaylen Warren, RB, Steelers
Trade Value: 42.3
ROS Rank: 55
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (ankle) was forced to exit early from his team's 34-12 Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals due to an ankle injury. However, Warren said after the game that he "could have (played), but (not returning) was part of being smart," per Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Warren's status for Week 12 against the Chicago Bears is unclear, but it seems he may have avoided a serious injury. Before leaving the game, Warren recorded 67 scrimmage yards on 12 touches.
Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell took advantage of the additional playing time in Warren's absence, hauling in seven receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 24 rushing yards on nine carries. The Steelers' running back situation will be one for fantasy managers to closely monitor this week. If Warren is unable to go, Gainwell could be a must-start fantasy running back in Week 12 against Chicago.
Verdict: Prime buy-low candidate following brief injury scare.
Tyjae Spears, RB, Titans
Trade Value: 17.5
ROS Rank: 115
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears had four carries for three yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Spears also had five catches for 31 yards on five targets. The 24-year-old was able to claw out 8.4 fantasy points, making it the fifth straight game with over seven fantasy points. Sunday also marked the third time this season Spears out-snapped backfield mate Tony Pollard in a game. Spears continues to live off his receiving production to stay flex-worthy for fantasy managers in PPR leagues.
Nearly all of his fantasy points were earned through the air, making it the fourth time in five games this season he's done that. Spears will remain a flex option in PPR leagues despite a difficult matchup against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12.
Verdict: Solid buy candidate as he appears to be taking over the lead role.
Trey McBride, TE, Cardinals
Trade Value: 72.1
ROS Rank: 18
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride caught 10 of his 11 targets for 115 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 11 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. McBride was already the top weapon in Arizona's passing attack, but he took on an even larger role this week with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) sidelined. The tight end benefited from Jacoby Brissett completing 47 passes, which is a new NFL all-time single-game record.
McBride now has five consecutive games with a touchdown, scoring six different times in that span. He'll remain a must-start, high-end TE1 even after Harrison returns to action. The Cardinals will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12.
Verdict: Buy high with Brissett set to be the QB1 for the foreseeable future.
Fantasy Football Trade Rankings Values
The higher the Trade Value number, the higher the priority for targeting in trades. Find your players, add up the trade values of each side of the offer, and see which side of the trade wins.
Who Should I Trade For?
Week 12 Trade Decisions. Today's focus is on specific players - Rashee Rice, Michael Pittman Jr., Jaylen Warren, George Pickens, Tyjae Spears, James Cook, and Trey McBride. These are some key fantasy football names heading into this week's matchups.
Using The Trade Values. This is a simple trade value tool, but very powerful. In our fantasy football trade value rankings above, you will see the Trade Value for each player. The higher the number, the higher the priority for targeting in trades. Players with a high trade value number are players that you should be targeting more in trades.
How It Works. Each week, our RotoBaller staff puts together their weekly fantasy football rankings, projections, and trade values based on their research. That information is the core data that is powering the decision-making in this trade value rankings.
How To Calculate Trades. Fantasy football managers will make 1-for-1 trades, or 2-for-3 trades, or 3-for-2 trades, or many other combinations. For each side of the deal, add the trade values together. Whichever side has a higher total number wins the trade. For example, if someone is offering you three players, add the trade values of those three players together. Does the value of those three players exceed the values of the player(s) you are trading away? If so then it's a good deal for you.
